another november update

On Monday I presented at Reframing the Future New Ways of Working in VET forum. Not a huge audience but people did seem pretty interested. I was approached by Paul who is one of the Teach Your Trade graduates. He said that cohort would be very interested in TROPIC as they feel they need the support and also are undertaking the Diploma TAA and networking is a requirement for that.
BRIT has expressed interest in TROPIC and I've also had an invitation to present at VeMentoring in March.
Met by teleconference with the Leaders yesterday and things are moving along with some activity in each institute.
David is presenting at Home Grown Innovations in VET in Brisbane on December 4th. He came up with the idea of including some video testimonials in the presentation and we agreed it would be good to build up a bank of these.
I did an observation with MF last week.
Leaders and I are meeting again in a fortnight and will discuss who's facilitating what at the training session in February.
In the meantime we're planning some more for the Learning & Skilling Day presentation.

November update

Phil and Jen are now TNQT Leaders. They've come up with some great ideas, like getting Michael involved in a role play presentation of the micro-skills at the Learning & Skilling Day in January.

Our main focus now is on recruiting and getting ready for the training in February.

One of the activities we did at the mini-conference was a network mapping exercise. Each individual mapped the relationships they need to maintain, strengthen or establish to promote TROPIC activity.

A couple of weeks ago I gave a brief presentation at the OctoberVET forum in Brisbane. It was basically a repeat of the AVETRA presentation - the evaluation of TROPIC. Two people from SkillsTech approached me and said they want to do the training, and Denise from Wide Bay said they would like to send someone from Gympie. At our Leaders' teleconference last week David said someone has already approached him. So we're basically going to use word of mouth to promote.

Next week I'm giving a presentation at the Reframing the Future forum in Brisbane.
